    The Olympian pizza: Pesto Base, Fresh Mozzarella Cheese, Kalamata Olive, Gyro Lamb, Artichoke, Tomato, Feta Cheese
    Paul N.

    Great atmosphere for a suburban strip mall. The focal point leans between the open kitchen and pizza ovens and the curved bar that highlights their beverage provisions. Friendly, neighborhood place that really delivers. The staff and bartenders are attentive and enjoy interacting with you or letting you do your thing - depending on your mood. The pizza is creative with so many fresh ingredients. Love the crust. Always a win!

    Pizza Margherita & house salad
    Laura E.

    We came here last night (8/28/2025) as we felt like pizza and it was close to my mom's hotel. We shared the house salad and pizza Margherita. Both were delicious and we had enough pizza for leftovers. I took some pizza to work and it was still tasty! Staff was super friendly and our food arrived quickly. Location is kind of out of the way but a good spot in an area with few restaurants,

    You can dress a pizza half and half.

    What went well the other night for our local pizza outing...? Everything! Cold beer and water, fresh salad, live music , nummy original flavorful pizzas, perfect service and a neighborhood feel to the place. And extra pizza slices to take home. I'm a fan.

    Cute place in a strip mall with plenty of parking. We were there around 4:30pm on a Friday. Was busy but we were seated right away. Fast and friendly service. Pizza fries were amazing and the pizzas were delicious! Love the specialty pizza options. The crust is super unique and the best way I can describe it is that it's like an amazing cracker. Cute bar, good drinks. Will for sure be back!

    Half hot pepperoni half thai chicken
    Tracey F.

    Had to run an errand in the area and were looking for something quick and easy for dinner. First note, which didn't impact my rating was that Google Maps initially sent us to the opposite side of the road in the business park area and not over by the shops. Just to be aware. The space was unassuming, but cute. Our server was definitely quick, but I felt almost rushed through everything and the tables weren't full/waiting, so I was a little pit off on how quick we were seemingly expected to get through. We tried a split pizza, with half the hot pepperoni special (not on the menu) and half the thai chicken. Both were seemingly good, but the Thai chicken was an overload of toppings. It was difficult to get a bite in without most of the toppings spilling off. Still very tasty! I liked that you could get a couple options and the pizzas were pretty large.

    You can split the 15" into 2 pizzas, which we did into buffalo chicken and Celilla pizza. I got the gluten free crust with the gyro and chicken on it. The service was amazing the pizza was amazing. We have already gone back and it was just as amazing. And we are planning a party here so everyone can experience this. I struggled giving this review as I don't want it to get to busy. But you must check this out.

    Thai chicken crunch
    Rachel W.

    First time going here. Food was good - we got two personal pan size pizzas for two people (so we could try two flavors) which gave us several slices for leftovers. The Thai chicken crunch was great! The Italian farmer was good too - a little less flavorful but more hearty with all the veggies. It was really crowded with a few BIG groups so the service was less than ideal, but I'm guessing it's usually not so chaotic. Overall, pretty good pizza and would likely go again.

    BBQ Bonanza Monthly Special Pizza

    I've been frequenting Olive's in Excelsior for almost six years. If you read my review of that location, you'll know that it's my favorite pizza establishment in Minnesota. This new location lives up to...and in my opinion, exceeds the hype of their first location. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of other well-known and often over-crowded Edina spots, this unassuming strip mall location is ideal!! Ample parking, a open layout, plenty of tables, and a really fun bar makes this the perfect weeknight pizza place or date night establishment. Service is quick, friendly, and acts like they've known you forever. One of my biggest positives, was that the owner can be seen cleaning tables and sweeping every nook and cranny. This team cares about your experience at their shop! The best thing about the new location is that they finally offer cocktails! Fun, inventive menu of specialty cocktails or the OGs, whatever your preference. But don't worry, their HEAVY wine pours made the trip over from Excelsior too! We went with the specialty pizza this time around and it was delectable! BBQ pork, Cole slaw, and multiple BBQ sauces made for the perfect post-daydrinking pizza! :) Will be a monthly regular at this new spot!! Can't recommend enough!!

    sorry for my half eaten posts from @olivesfreshedina BUT what better way to celebrate pi day than some good ole' love BOTH locations for entirely different reasons but one remains the same: QUALITY! do yourself a huge favor and order a hotty toddy from the 'secret menu' - you will not regret it. best item by far! speedy service, accommodating for groups, & the best place to order multiple menu items from to test and try! don't sleep on those Italian fries either.....

Copperwing has a place of its own amongst the thousands of drinking holes in the Twin Cities. You're imbibing in a distillery, but at a bar with a mixology and a bites menu. The cocktail list is interesting, and what I drank was delicious. I also drank shots of some of the different booze Copperwing produced. (It was a lot of liquor. The next two days were rough, and stupidly, we went to another distillery afterwards. I will never learn, and I'm 75 years old.) Liquor is like wine. We all have different tastes and palates. I liked one of Copperwing's vodkas, but not the other. Several of their offerings have won national awards. That's something everyone in Minneapolis can be proud of. Jack was our bartender, and he was gracious and accommodating. I will return to Copperwing Distillery soon, but will drink with more wisdom, sticking to one kind of booze and will drink lots of water.

We ordered the Candied Bacon flight to share; the menu listed the bacon flight flavors (whiskey jalapeño BBQ, roasted chile brown sugar, honey mustard, 4-pepper blend) and the 8 large, thick slices looked inviting but we had no idea which pieces were which flavor. *Management Suggestion: Get little toothpicks or flags so diners know what they're tasting!* That said, while I tried two pieces I thought looked good and I enjoyed them, RC munched through them unaware they were different flavors, lol. My take: they were ok. I also ordered the French Onion soup as I love trying different restaurants' take on it. Five stars for the soup, it was absolutely delicious. A thick piece of crusty bread topped with melted cheese that dripped over the crock topped rich, delicious caramelized onions and just enough beef stock to be able to call it soup. Banging. For our mains, RC ordered ribs with a side of Buffalo Brussels Sprouts. The ribs had good flavor but were definitely not fall-off-the-bone; more like saw from the bone. We both love Brussels but the beef-tallow fried sprouts with Buffalo sauce and caked in melted bleu cheese crumbles were not good. If you don't like Brussels, you might like these because any sprout flavor was overwhelmed by the bleu cheese. For my main I tried the braised Short Rib Ravioli, generous ravioli in a very rich cream sauce then topped with (I think) bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes. I ate one raviolo and it wasn't for me. I thought the filling was bland and the sauce didn't meld with the flavor. I didn't eat it, the manager came to apologize and ask if I wanted something else, but RC was close to finished and I declined. Good on them for taking it off my bill without me asking. Service was five star, atmosphere nice, although the huge flat screens everywhere were a distraction lacking sound or captions. The bourbon selection looked great and I momentarily wished I could try some! :D

Martina is an ace with its bold flavored Argentinian cuisine and relaxing atmosphere. We dined on the patio, but whether you are seated inside or out, the ambiance is adorned with green plants, natural wood, and clean lines for a modern aesthetic that pleases today's diner. The food was a pleasure. The secret to the bold flavors is in the sauce. We started with an order of the grilled bread and a dozen oysters. I'll never say no to raw oysters (even on some occasions when I should have), but these were a great experience. The vinegar sauce served with these was a unique version that when paired with a dash of the shredded horseradish and a squeeze of lemon juice, the oysters were a punch of zingy perfection. The salted, vinegar infused butter that came with the bread elevated the dish. I chose the halibut for my entree and it was lovely (halibut is a win in any format). However, I would highly recommend the ribeye. My son got that and I sampled a piece with the accompanying chimichuri sauce and it was heavenly. The oils chosen to create that sauce were very well thought out so it made for not-your-typical ribeye and lent itself to something flavorfully unique. We want to return! Putting this on our list of faves when in Minneapolis/St Paul.
